I HATE THE MEDIA ™

Bangkok grenade attacker blows off own legs: A few inches higher and this story would have been a lot more ironic.

Obama boosts government subsidies for buyers of the Chevy Volt and other new-technology vehicles to $10,000 per buyer. Oh, and the average income of the Chevy Volt’s buyers is $170,000 per year, according to General Motors CEO Dan Akerson. The car’s so good, we gotta bribe wealthy people to buy them.

Study says electric cars dirtier than gasoline cars. And the study only looked at air pollution. They didn’t pay any attention to the foul chemicals used to make the batteries.

We knoe what’s bess for yur child, cuz we ben skooled to knoe more dan yu.

Video was pulled. Here’s the story: Bureaucrats vs. Parents — Who Should Choose Where Children Are Educated? “[Educators] are the people who know best about how to serve children, that’s not necessarily true of an individual resident,” Squires said. “I’m not saying they don’t want the best for their children, but they may not know what actually is best from an education standpoint.” McMillin responds, “Wow, parents don’t know what’s best for their child…”

U.S. Taxes really are unusually progressive. “Income taxes in America are more progressive than in other rich countries–according to an authoritiative official study…” Yeah, but we got an incompentent liberal president who needs to distract from his lousy record to be reelected and this doesn’t fit his chosen narrative so it must be a raaaaacist lie of some sort.

Just in time for Valentine’s Day: A new app to direct New Yorkers to free condoms. Mayor Nanny Bloomberg now in your bedroom.

Is Athens burning? Yes, yes it is. Greece has a problem: it’s basically like the unskilled, unemployed dude that owes a lot of money to his siblings that he can’t pay back. When they cut his allowance, his only way of dealing with it is to set fire to the basement. There’s no good way out of the mess for the Greeks, and maybe no bad way either. Worst of all, Greece may be the canary in the coal mine.

Sewage Plant Offers Valentine’s Day Tours On Fetid Newtown Creek In Brooklyn. We’ve been scouring the internet and finally we have a suggestion for where President Obama can take Mrs. Obama for Valentine’s Day. Of course, compared to Washington, DC, this will probably smell like roses.

Obama campaign launches “Truth Teams.” Can’t wait until he makes it a cabinet-level department, The Department of Truth. Mr. Orwell, please call your office.

Jim Cramer: Obamacare is going to derail economy. Anyone who has seen Jim Cramer on CNBC’s “Mad Money” know he’s generally pro-Obama and a liberal Democrat (like most other Wall St. types.) Cramer predicts Obamacare will send jobs to Mexico or Asia and increase the number of people “hired off the books.” He’s obviously just a raaaaacist nutcase.

SSDI, a program intended to help disabled workers, has become a form of long-term unemployment insurance. The loser is the broader public good. Robert Samuelson deconstructs a good program gone bad. Maybe the famous quote should read “I have seen the future and nobody works.”

Obama letter to unemployed carpenter: “It will probably take another year or two to fully dig our way out of this hole.” Maybe the real problem is we shouldn’t be trying to dig our way out of a friggin’ hole. Duh.

Arrested for being WHITE? Grandfather who was repeatedly stopped and cuffed for walking with his black granddaughter. Talk about reverse discrimination! My mother has a black friend she grew up with in Charleston, SC and was actually pulled over by a Bubba cop who who inquired if she was OK as she is white. It’s amazing this happens in this day and age.

Ill. man gets 3 years in erectile pump case. A new way to pump money out of the government. We hear Barney Frank is dissapointed he didn’t get one in the mail.

“Do not follow me down the road to jihad. Go and get a good education in the West”: Osama Bin Laden’s extraordinary instructions to his young children. So say his in-laws. Did he come to realize his path was a dead end or are they just saying what they think people want to hear? Either way, it may give some food for thought.

Samuel L. Jackson: “I voted for Barack Obama because he was black.” “Cuz that’s why other folks vote for other people — because they look like them.” Yeah, right. So voting for Obama “because he is black” is not raaaaacism but voting against him because you disagree with his policies is? Nuance!

Teenager whose fart joke caused ELEVEN agencies to lockdown his school in bomb scare. The teacher moron who reported this is another stellar example of what’s wrong with the education system in the US. We suggest you don’t tell fart jokes at PTA meetings or airports unless you have a fetish for Big Sis to give you the rubber hose treatment at GITMO.

Whitney Houston Dead. One for the shocking/not-so-shocking category. Condolences for her family, fans and friends.

No civility for you: “As the Party of Take, the Democrats view the Occupiers as both useful idiots and intimidating shock troops.” “The coming election will boil down to a duel to the death between taxpayers and moochers, between Americans who believe in personal responsibility and the ‘entitlement class’ that thinks the world owes it a living.” The masks are off and what’s underneath is even uglier.

Palin and CPAC crowd shout down Occupy hecklers. Whiney-whine per-centers at CPAC? They must have thought there was going to be a free lunch.

“Protesters” at Friday’s “Occupy CPAC” event, organized by AFL-CIO and the Occupy DC movement, said they were paid “$60 a head.” “I have nothing nice to say about Local 100. They just told me ‘you wanna make $60? So c’mon,’” the protester said. Another astro-turfed grass-roots movement. Isn’t that what they said about the Tea Party? The left always accuses its opponents of the crap they themselves do the most.

Dont Let Them Fool You into Thinking Allah’s Laws are Backwards. No wonder muslims are so angry. Who would want more than one spouse at a time?

Breitbart tells CPAC: I have videos of Obama in college and they’ll come out during the election. Whatever’s on there probably won’t surprise any of us, but sure could drive the journ0list crowd a bit (more) batty. Say, we wonder if Breitbart found Emperor Zero’s transcripts as well? Veni, Vidi, Vacation!

Turns out cats really do make you crazy. According to scientists, felines harbor a parasite that commandeers your brain cells, forcing you to like the smell of cat piss, ignore risk, and react slowly. Remember President Clinton and his pet cat, Socks? Doesn’t this explain a lot?

President Barack Obama’s compromise on free birth control coverage left health insurers stuck with the bill, sparking worries over the precedent set by the new policy. If it is free . . . how then is there a bill for the insurers to be stuck with? And if the costs are increasing for the insurers will that not result in either lesser coverage or higher costs for those paying the premiums? Here is a great notion for that logic starved lot . . . pay for you own damn birth control!
